Fred is a handsome pup ready to spice up your life with his youthful energy and pawsome spirit! He came into rescue as a stray with his sister Ethel, and they are both oh-so-happy to be receiving all the love and attention they were missing while traveling on their own. Fred is crate trained, walks well on leash, and does great in the car. Do you enjoy going for long walks, jogs, or hikes? If so, this high-energy youngster is ready and willing to be your adventure buddy! He has a long, soft coat that is made for petting, and he will take all the attention you have to give. This well-behaved boy adores people and playing with other dogs. Fred will require a home with a secure fenced yard and a canine sibling who he can look up to for advice and to help him learn the ropes and routine. If you are ready for your furry best friend, this loving boy is waiting for you!

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
If you can't foster or adopt at this time, please consider helping our Neediest Cases or making a tax-exempt donation by visiting our Donate page.
